Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterAir Duct Cleaning Company in Artesia, CA
Air duct cleaning in Artesia runs between $385 and $1,050 for a standard single-family home, depending on the number of return registers, the age of the duct system, and how much grease and diesel particulate has settled inside. Most Artesia homes built in the 1960s hold original or early-replacement metal ducts, and many have flex-duct retrofits from the 70s and 80s with liner cracking that demands more time than a quick pass. If you’re weighing whether it’s worth it, Dale Whitmore will tell you straight: the job here is almost never just dust. Call (469) 972-3151 and we’ll give you a written price before anything gets touched.
Why Artesia Homes Are Different
Artesia sits right at the seam of the 605 and the 91, and those aren’t scenic parkways: they’re two of the heaviest diesel-truck corridors feeding the Port of Long Beach. Homes off Pioneer Boulevard and the surrounding tract streets absorb a particulate load most of Southeast LA doesn’t see, black soot that works its way past a standard filter and clings to duct walls. Then the marine layer rolls in from the coast and keeps everything damp. Dust plus moisture on a duct wall is how you get biofilm, and that’s why a routine cleaning in Artesia often turns into degreasing and antimicrobial work a tech in Rancho Cucamonga never has to think about.
Then there’s the cooking. Pioneer Boulevard is the heart of Little India, and households here run high-heat, aromatic-oil cooking daily: tandoor, mustard oil, turmeric-laced steam. Our techs working blocks off Pioneer regularly pull registers coated in a golden-orange residue that practically identifies the neighborhood. That grease doesn’t sit only on the filter; the furnace recirculates it through the return side and it lines the ducts like varnish. Most suburban duct jobs skip degreasing entirely. In Artesia, skipping it means the ducts look clean for a month and then everything sticks again.
The housing stock makes it worse. These are modest single-family tract homes, mostly built between the late 1950s and early 1970s. Many still run their original forced-air duct systems. The flex-duct retrofits from later decades are now 40 to 50 years old, and the interior liners crack. Debris hides in those cracks and resists a standard brush pass. It takes negative-air extraction with a HEPA-filtered unit, the kind of setup we run on every Artesia job, to actually pull the particulates out rather than just knocking them loose.
Our Main Artesia Services
Artesia homeowners call us most often for two things: a full air duct cleaning on a 60-year-old tract home, or a dryer vent that’s clogged with lint and no longer drying. Each has its own page here, because each job is different enough to deserve its own detail.
Air Duct Cleaning in Artesia
This is a whole-system cleaning using Rotobrush rotary agitation on the duct walls and Nikro negative-pressure extraction to pull everything loose into a HEPA-filtered catch. In Artesia the work almost always includes a degreasing pass on the return side, because the cooking residue from Pioneer Boulevard kitchens gets pulled through the returns and baked onto the metal. We also inspect for cracked flex-duct liners, common in this housing stock, and tell you honestly if sections need replacement rather than cleaning. Air Duct Cleaning in Artesia
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Artesia
Dryer vents in Artesia clog faster than the average because so many homes run high-heat cooking and the dryer itself picks up the ambient particulate load in the laundry room. The job is a full-length brush and vacuum from the dryer connection to the exterior termination, with a lint-trap bypass so the actual vent line, not just the trap, gets cleared. A clogged dryer vent isn’t a nuisance; it’s a house-fire risk. We clean the length, show you the before-and-after, and don’t leave until airflow at the exterior is moving freely.

What Artesia Customers Say
"Set up an appointment for the whole house plus the dryer line. They called the morning of to confirm, showed up in the window, and showed me pictures of the gunk they pulled out. Worth it."
- Terrence Boyd"My wife's allergies were awful every morning. Had the ducts done and it's made a real difference. Tech was on time and wore booties in the house without me asking."
- Rob Pendergast"Bought an older home and the previous owners had pets everywhere. After Kestrel did the ducts the stale smell was just gone. On time, quick, and they showed me the filter they pulled."
